As I was shooting junk, Danielle chatted with its owner, who thought we might have fun at Rhyolite, an abandoned mining town just outside of Beatty. He was right, of course : ). The first thing we noticed was funky art, from Jesus (I think) with a bicycle to an oversized tiled bench; and on to old buildings and train cars. Where to go first?!? Again, not enough time… is there ever?


(Have I mentioned I love details?)

Nevada, in my opinion, should be called the “Like-Nothing-You’ve-Ever-Seen State”. Random stuff everywhere. WIth a whole lot of nothing in between.


On the way to and from Las Vegas a few a bunch of weeks ago, where my close (photo)friend Danielle and I went to immerse ourselves in the world’s largest photography trade show and convention, we stopped a few times to pull out the cameras; so many more things to shoot along the way, so little time! In Vegas itself we had zero time to shoot, which is really a shame, there are so many photo ops! Next time… maybe ; )

(Who can tell me what’s wrong with above image?)

As a group of bikers passed us, Danielle pulled out a camera and I drove alongside them for a while. She caught this priceless shot of Pretty-In-Pink’s deadly look:

From San Francisco we drove to Santa Cruz to stay with my friends Betsy and Raf, and little Becca. We went straight to the beach with kids and cameras; only for a bit, as we thought we’d come back Saturday or Sunday, but the weather turned and that didn’t happen. I will just have to go back soon!  : )

Of course I don’t get to shoot nearly as much as I’d like with little man in tow, but some… he is so cute, though; he asked me to take photos of pretty much every cool critter he saw at the Academy of Science; “one for you, one for me!”. Love him.

A friend took these shots of Levi – so nice to hand the camera over for a change!

After recently meeting Rick and hearing about his 3-year bike trip around the globe, I was intrigued and attended one of his slide shows; sounds like pretty pictures, but it is so much more. It really got under my skin. His adventures were heart-stopping, eye-opening, funny, mind-blowing. If you’re the least bit interested in travel, a glance behind the scenes of the world out there, photography or bicycles, this is a must see! The next show is TODAY, at the Castro Valley Center for the Arts, 7pm. Keep checking for upcoming shows!


As a side note, I designed the new flyer, and just love how it came out!

Road trip with my son! A couple of days in San Francisco, then off to Santa Cruz – here just a handful impressions from Pier 39:
